While tent construction has improved over the years, tent seams are
still a week point even on some of the best tents. And since I'm sure
you don't really like waking up with a drip of rain to the forehead
spending a few bucks on seam sealer is probably a pretty good idea for
next Summer's camping season
Kiwi Camp Dry, Heavy Duty Water Repellent
This Kiwi can does the trick. Use it on tarps, boots, or fabrics. We
tried it first on our old tent, then on hiking boots. It sealed out the
moisture well enough for continuous use. It also allowed us to use the
tent for another two seasons before getting a new one.
I look for new
stuff at camp to try it on. You have to let it dry fully like the
directions say, but after that it's good. Anything that will see full
rain exposure, do a couple of coats for best results.
COLEMAN SEAM SEALER
This product is completely different from what it shows in the picture.
Its the same one that you will see in your local sports store or
walmart by coleman. It doesn't have a brush at the end which i would
have liked because it is in the picture which is why it loses 1 star.
Most tents have pretty tight seams so getting into them with the product
can be difficult due to the fact it doesnt have the convenient brush.
The tip is actually a somewhat flat sponge that only protrudes from the
bottle by 1-2 millimeters. The good part about this is you waste less
product, the bad part is you may need some help pulling the seams apart
far enough to apply the product unless you have 3 hands
Timber Ridge Family Tent For Camping from Bizarkdeal
ReplyDeleteThis thing is massive. I've seen other people on here saying that it's not as big as they expected. It was the complete opposite for me. Timber Ridge states it fits 8 people, and while it might be a little tight with 8 full sized adults, I don't think that's what was the intended use saying 8 people. But it could easily fit 4 adults and 4 children. I'm confident that you could even get two queen sized air mattresses in this thing, I believe one will fit in each half of the tend with the room divider up. One thing that stood out to me while setting this up is the thickness of the tent poles, they seem very durable and don't seem that they would break easily which is a problem I have had with tents in the past. Another awesome feature is that the tent also has these convenient cubbies, or pockets, around the entire top of the inside of the tent for storage. I shot the video and took the pictures in my yard for the purpose of this review. I will update soon once we actually get to take it camping hopefully in the next few weeks.
From my first impressions I would not hesitate to recommend this to friends or family.
